Shire of Middle Ridge


The Shire of Middle Ridge was a local government area in the Darling Downs region of Queensland, Australia, south of Toowoomba, Queensland centred on Middle Ridge. It existed from 1880 to 1917.

History

The Shire of Middle Ridge was established as a municipal shire on 22 May 1880. Its centre was at the intersection of Stenner and Hume Streets, where there was the shire hall, the school and a church.
On 23 February 1917, the Shire of Middle Ridge was abolished, split between the City of Toowoomba and the Shire of Drayton. In 2008 during a major local government amalgamation, both parts of the former Shire of Middle Ridge became part of Toowoomba Region.
